By MAKV JANE I.IND
Testing Iho HUB's policy re¬ garding tho use of tables im¬ mediately inside the HUB en¬ trance, six campus activist groups yesterday set up card tal)los in violation of tlio policy anrl operating rules.
"It's clearly a free speech thing," said Koldtie Stci-n. o<'<n- pying a card table in the 111 B marked "Students for Kduca¬ tional Keform."
Along witli six otiier gioups- - tho Consoivation and Action Council, tho Draft F^esistance oiganization, Studonts for a Democratic Society, tho YWCA- YMCA group gathering peti¬ tions on Vietnam, the Vietnam Committee and the Yoimg .So¬ cialist Alliance the .SF-R was occupying HUB si)aio in viola¬ tion of tho policy and operat¬ ing rules for the distlihution of literature in tho Student Un¬ ion Building.
At ahotit 11 a.m. yesterday the students moxetl in their positions at card tables set up in the III B lobby on the main floor. The participants all

About .500 rosorvcd-S(Mt tick¬ ets remain for Saturday's foot¬ ball game bore against Oregon State.
The tickets are available to all studonls and will bo dis¬ tributed from 2:."^0 to 4 p.m. to¬ day on the second floor of the HUB.
There will also be ahout 2,000 unreserved seats available on the day of the game. Distribu¬ tion begins at 1:4.5 Saturday afternoon at the Stadium.

shared a sense ot excitement and seemed juhilant. Ralph Kottke, program chairman for Young Democrats, and legal oc¬ cupant of opc of the tables, stated that he was "in sympa- tliy with the 'table strike'."
Ho soemod to fool that if the HUB wore filled w^th such ta¬ bles, studonts might shod their apath.\ and "get tho spirit." "Our justifaction is to tost con¬ gestion," said ono of the stu¬ dent.
Proviouslx-, tho studont groups had visited Stephen Xord. HUB nianagoi', requesting: 1» that off campus groups, V^ista and tho like, not bo allowed to use HUB tables in com!>otiti()n with stu¬ donts and 2> that tho Univer¬ sity permit unrestlictod use of tho first floor for card tables. Nord .said the Tuesday meeting took place for about 30 minutes.
It was suggested that the oi'- iginal two six-foot banquet ta¬ bles be divided into three parts o.'icli to accomodate tho groups, but, according to Nord. "that would r'^quiro self discipline on thoir part and someone contend¬ ed they didn't ha\e it."
Since the l'niversity ("onunit- tee on the Ise of I uIn ersity Fa¬ cilities has the final authority on policy changes such as that proposed, Nord offeri^l to bring the suggestions of the group before the committee at its ear¬ liest possible meeting, .Monday or Tuesday of the cuuilng week.
Within 24 hours the groups had "taken matters into thoir own hands," as Nord put it. The rocjuost for policy change and demonstration in loss than 24 h«iurs was "precipitous" accord¬ ing to the HUIi managor. "I don't consider it a rational ap¬ proach," ho commented.
Xord does not view the is- su«> as one of free sp«'ech. Wh«'n questioned, he replied, "The Hl'B is ftir all students, not just the acti\ists. This is not a free spee«'li issue. No one has told them what to distribute."
To illustrate his point, Nord pointed out that tho people set up to distribute literature on the front porch of the HUB have "never iioon controlled." No one has tried to stoj) distri¬ bution of pamphlets. Tho mat¬ ter as Nord saw it was one of congestion.
Noting that more than 20,000 students pass in and out of the III'B every day, Xord again made the point that the III'B nujst function as a servi(*e to all students.
Nord askod the groups after they set up their card tallies if thoy knew the rul(>s and if they wouid remove the tal)les. All e.xcept the Young Democrats said thoy knew tho rules liut would not leave, according to Nord.
Tho Young Democrats decided to leave, Nord said.
Ho said he would type a memo concerning the incident and send it lo the Doan of Stu¬ donts office. That is tho offi¬ cial procedure in such cases.
He said he expei-ted the groups to return totlay, but doubted there would lu; any bodily removal.
"It wouid take a long time before wo get to the niglit-stick level," Nord commented.
